Life on Earth for humanity and our ecosystems is at a point of
great change. There is much to be learnt about previous great
disruptions. The key words are *adaptation* and *transformation*.
Most international companies operate across multiple social and
environmental geographies, so they know this intellectual and
practical landscape. And for many governments the challenges of
social and environmental justice are also paramount - not least
because equitable societies are best for business, and best for
human well-being. The Necessary Transition addresses the many
transitions taking place around the world: from high- to low-carbon
economies, from gross inequality to egalitarianism, from massive
human rights abuses to socially just societies, and from high
corruption to societies with high social cohesion and integrity.
The book brings together leading international researchers and
practitioners to share their knowledge and expertise, and offers
answers to many of the pressing questions that must be addressed in
the journey towards a sustainable enterprise economy - an
absolutely necessary transition for humanity. Contributors include:
Sara Parkin, Founder-Director and Trustee of the UK's Forum for the
Future; Bill Champion, Managing Director, Rio Tinto Coal Australia;
and Mark Swilling, co-author of "Just Transitions" and Academic
Director of the Sustainability Institute, South Africa. The key
question is: "Is a transition to a sustainable future possible
within the logic of conventional capitalism and 20th-century models
of development?" This book provides radical perspectives from
varying entry points and is essential reading for academics and
practitioners interested in how we plan, speed and scale such
necessary transitions.
